A TAIE.

From the Lady's Book. EMMA EMLIN. Alas! how slight a cause may move Dissensions between hearts that love. Lallah Jtookh. An airy, sprightly, laughing girl was Emmy Emlin. The merry, mischievous eye, the sunny smile, the load and frequent laugh,"the light fantastic step that seemed to tread on air," al! betokened a breast undisturbed by might that could superinduce a sigh, as inno cent, as peaceful, as free from care as that of slumbering infancy. If occasionally moody thought seemed to bedim the wonted brightness of her countenance, it was but a momentary cloudiness, and when it passed away, she smiled as sweetly, laughed as merrily, tripped as airily as before. The seventeenth summer had Emma seen the lily bloom, and no disappointment had yet rippled the smooth and even current of her happiness, no lasting pang had yet found its way to her bosom. She was beautiful, too could she be aught else? so 301111 g, so gay, so happy. It could not be that the sweetest maiden in the village of N . should be without her suitors. Numerous were thev who Felt or Teigned a flame," for 'he lovely girl. Though admired, yet there were those of them who knew not that

pure and holy feeling which swells the bosom founl has received from the villagers "the anof him who loves. He who could win the peliation of "The Cool Spring." A lovtlv love of Emma Emlin was destined to be the spot is here here it is that

"observed of all observer?," the envied of all the envious; and hence it was that there were not wanting those who strove to become the favored one, with no other design than that cf gratifying their own vanity and having accomplished their object, of leaving her the oupe of her own unsuspecting innocence. The truly devoted lover needs not the aid cf language to express the feeling of his heart to the object of its adoration. No, the thoughtful tenderness of his soul-lit eye tells the tale, the "eloquence of silence" speaks hi passion. Augustus Alwin united with a well ordered intellect, all the bltndishments of a gentleman. Frank, affable, and unassuming, he had gained what he merited, the esteem of all who knew him. Emma wes not blind to his merits. She saw that he possessed qualities not common to all, and she love him. True love 13 always accompanied with doubt. It is difficult for the soul filled with devoted tenderness to persuade itself that a reciprocity of feeling exists with he being of its idolatry. A disinterested observer may discern with unerring certainty the mutual attachment of two kindred hearts, but as between themselves, the one will be continually i.tiaing uuuun s .u iu leenngs or sincerity of the other. At was so with Augustus doubtless with Emma also he could scarce think one so universally praised and flattered could fix her attachment upon him. Sometimes he would suspect her for loving William Linden, for he had heard William vauntingly say that he could already command her sweetest tmile and would ere long lead captive her heart; and Linden had the name of bein H successful trifler. Again hope would illume his bosom, and he would picture to himself the bliss of that moment when Em ma would become his affianced bride. did "conflicting hones and fears' triumph in the breast r.f Augustus, elrehded avowing himself, lest he sJ niiciu.iiciy He should be repulsed he feared to keep silence any longer, lest delay should undo him. It was ou a beautiful evening of June, that lovely month of roses and smiles, that a servant filtered Augftstus' apartment and handed him a neatly folded note, which opening, he read as follows: "Miss Emlin would be glad to see Mr. Alwin immediately. "Tuesday evening." This evening," said Augustus as he left his room, "I shall become cither the accepted or rejected of Emma Emlin." Slowly and thoughtfully he bent his way to her dwelling, forming the while, a thousand conjectures why he had been made the reci pient 01 a note irom Lmma, expressive of so mncli apparent anxiety to see him. "SVill you walk, Mr. Alwin?" said Emma, smilingly, as she received him at the outer door. "Command, rather than interrogate me, Miss" was the reply. Whether it was the summer evening's glowing western horizon that imparted by its reflective power the florid tint which was visible on Emma's cheek as she mechanically took Augustus' am for the walk, or whether u was oDtained sympathetically from the deeper flush on :hat of her inamoratia, none but herself could tell, and she hath not yet mide known the secret. said "lou will pardon me, Mr. Alwin," t cv..iv.mi iu accompany me when you have learned the motive bv which" J "Where no offence is given, no pardon is necessary." interrupted Augustas. "But I was fearful you would think my conduct somewhat unbecoming." "Your sense of propriety cannot permit lady " strictly becoming a I was moved solely by a desire to avoid the society of William Linden. Some young ladies and gentlemen are assembled at Miss Etta's, and design having an evening's walk. LJen sent me a note, requesting m to make one of the party, and informing mc that Mr. Linden would call for me by the time I had completed my toilet. I did not wi?h to wlh with him, and therefore made a demand uptftWk ..... . r.

"You have honored me, Miss Emlin, but why your repugnance to walking with Mr. Linden? He is one of your admirers." 'IJe professes to'be, and nence my anxiety to avoid him, for if he be sincere, I would not ex ite expectations that I never mean to gratify ; if he be not, I wish to prevent him from supposing that I can be trifled with. Why Ellen! how active !" uYou cruel girl," said Ellen Etta, playfully, as she ran to meet Emma and Alwin, a few steps from her own door. "Why cruel V queried Emma. "Poor Linden, he is so disappointed, Ae

started to go for you, but spied you coming with Mr. Alwin, and returned with n visage an ell in entension. I shall have to walk with him myself, and try to foothe his sorrow come in." A dagger look at Alwin by his jealous rival a "Well Gust," and n bow to Emma, from the joung gentlemen a "Good evening, Mr. Alwin," and a "Miss Emma,'" from the young ladies a joyous laugh from the merry maiden herself, and the little precession moved off with nil due ceremony. At the distance of a quarter of a mile from the village ofN , and on the opposite side of a large and beautiful stream of translucent water, a little fountain bubbles forth at the bate of an overhanging rock, its liquid crystal, which forming a small rivulet purls along over variegated pchble,until reaching the brink of the larger stream, it quietly miii" jgles with its waters. This pellucid little " Nature has spread o'er the scene. Her purest of crystal aud brightest of green." In the happy summer time, when the wild flowers lent fragrance to the evening breeze, and the forest oaks, whose umbrageous branches overhung the rippling rill, were dressed in their massy foliage, here were the village youth wont to congregate "With spirits as buoyant as air," and gambol away the evening hour in harmless merriment. To this delighted and frequented spot were our little party seen wending their way, Emma and Augustus Hi. goring, as lovers always e!o, far behind." "Miss Emlin," said Augustus, breaking a silence which for some cause unknown, had prevailed several minutes, "you surprised me awhile ago by the indifference you expressed towards Mr. Linden. Was I in error when I supposed you flittered by his attentions?" "A lady will always feel herself flattered by the attentions and partiality of any gentleman with whom she is iu the habit cf associating." "Hut, did I wrong you in thinking that his addresses received your encouragement?" "You never thought so, Mr. Alwin." "1 own I was not noitive nf it. but 1 rlll 'sometimes tear it. "Your fears were altogether visionary." "1 am rejoiced to knew it, Emma, for 1 have myself a deep interest in the disposal cf H'ur aiit'cuons. This reply of Augustus was uttered in a suppressed tone, for they had now approached so near the "Spring" at which the rest of the company had arrived, as to be in danger of '""'o hiii-.uu. iii.na was evidently Hurried when she reached their midst, and her efforts to conceal her notation rendered it the more perceptible.

Perhaps there is nothing woman will so sedulously struggle to conceal as her own affections, aud however well the conduct of the loved one may satisfy her of the reality of his attachment, yet if previous to an oralnrnf..

It may not therefore, be difficult to divine why, as Augustus sat by Emma's side on the daisy clad turf, she was'cold and formal why the sprichtliness of her tion had gone and the sweetness of her smile departed. Alwin had never before addressed her by the simple and endearing title, Emma," and then there w as a something inexpressibly tender in his manner, a softness in his eye, and a mildness in his voice which she had at no other time witnessed, and which demonstrated the truth of the declaration he had made as they neared the "Spring." "Why has he not thus acted and spoke before r "Why notcr1 were the questions she asked herself. "It must be so," said she men.tally.

Nothing iu all the vissiludes of man's sub-'

luoary existence wounds him so deeply as slighted love. The cold neglect of her he adores, al once sweapsaway all his cherished dreams of felicity, and (his lone and desolate heart becomes the prey of the most afflictive torment. If Emma had at that moment seen the workings of despair in the countenance of Augustus if she had known the utter loneliness of his heart the exquisite torture of his smitten soul, she would have wept bitter tears of penitence. ! Unhappy Augustus! at the very instant he j was about to open to her his heart and tell her the tender tale of love, she had ruthlessly ' severed herself from him, and was flirting in his presence with his rival; a rival, too, whom but a few moments agone, she had declare her cagcrness to avoid. "Strange, vacillating, inconstant girl," thought he. Alwin left not the spot where he sat, until the party were preparing to return to the village, when Emma having relinquished the arm of William, came up to him and said, in a careless way, that she was "ready to walk." Scarce a word did cither speak until they rcacned the threshold of Emma's ..dwelling. when Augustus lak.W her l,v hn,t u if..i..i.r.i .. . i, h..ll hnlrcil t Ik frf!,... i . a V ; '-""""i "-

" "I have some i eason to suppose that I am not altogether indifferent to her, but she possesses not for me that soul's devotcduess which I possess for her, or she could not have tretted me so contemptuously." "Why, Mr. Alwin, it was but the innocent flirtation of a frolicksome girl possibly designed to try the strength of your attachment." "When such means are employed, I am willing to acknowledge that my attachment will not bear the test. I cannot call such conduct an innocent flirtation." 4iMr. Alwin, you are quite too sensitive; you ought not to permit so trifling hii occurrence " "No, Miss Etta, I am not too sensitive; 1 can bear the contemptuous neglect of an ordinary associate in life thc mere friend, but I cannot endure the freezing scorn of Emma Lmhn.

I shall not, therefore, essay a delineation of Emma Emlin's mental anguish, when she learned tint Alwin had indeed abandoned his home and her, and had proclaimed his intention to seek an abode in the "Par West." I should certainly tail, and then .he failure would be attributed by my fair reader to an inability on my part properly to appreciate the refinement and intensity of her sex's feehne. It is enough to say that the loud laugh of " " as nuMiea the lairy step was gone the witching smile was no more, and in the gossip of the village she was known only as "the broken-hearted." A twelvemonth passed nud no one knew whither had wandered Augustus Alwin, nor had time restored Emma to herself she was etill inconsolable and disconsolate.

at Miss Etta's, on that "morrow evenine." 1

Augustus, the lavounte Augustus was again 'amongst them, and his presence made even the jealous Linden happy. Away off from the circle 01 gaycty, eat two personages, holding converse, who had often before been scjmi in such a juxta-position. No one was so curious as to approximate sufficiently near to ascertain the subject of their conversation, but the sweeter voice of the two Emma was fond of reciting poetry was accidentally a .. Heard to say, "Mr. Alwin, 'Who by repentence is not satisfied Is not of earth or heaven,' " and the pretty speaker smiled. "How well Augustus Alwin and his lady looked at church.yesterday," said Ellen Etta, that had been, to her husband, some three months after the last recorded event, of our story. "And happy, too, wife," answered William Linden, "the long lost smile of Em ma Emlin again plays as sweetly as ever round the lip of Mrs. AIv in. 7 S. D. A. Carlisle. Pa. BALDNESS.
